CLEVELAND'S SUPPORT.

The Alta California has felt the pulse
of a large number of business men on
the Pacific Coast regarding their feel
ing towards the denomination of Presi-
dent Cleveland, and this is what it says
of its findings:
l have personally interviewed a great
number of them, and have listed five
hundred leading ones in San Francisco
and neutrality-suspicious., 1 mean
who are supporters of the President and
will vote for him next year. Now, l
take it that this is sample of the whole
country. Again, our interests out there
are getting attention. Mr.. Scott, of the
Union Iron Works, has a government
cruiser to build in San Francisco; our
trade with Hawaii is cared for; the new
convention in negotiation with China
promises to heal the sorest places in our
past diplomacy with that country; our
State is resorted to for a Consul-Gener eral
to France in the interest of our great wine
production, which is of great importance
and above all, legitimate acquisition
of our public lands is promoted by
detection of fraudulent surveying rings
which have been recruited from both
parties. California has habit of know
ing the side on which her business bread
is buttered, and therefore is willing to
give the President her electoral vote
next year. We have passed through the
sentimental zone of our politics. Such
administrative work has the merit of
benefiting labor as well as business, and
they should always thrive together.
The East may be surprised to know that
our remote coast has ripened into appro-
baton of such thoroughly practical poll
cies as those pursued by our Governor
and President, but it is true, and it is the
sign which always precedes great pros
perity and peace and the building of
happy homes. 1t means that the bear
has gone to eating straw like the OK, and
that the bear likes it.

BEN H0LLADAY.

Ben Holiday, one of the best known
of Western characters, who made reputa-
ton and fortune in the development Of
this new country, died in Portland, Ore
gon, on Friday evening last. Utah knew
Holladay well in her earlier days, but OF
late years he had almost passed out Of
mind; but with the recollection of all he
did for the newly-settled Territories, all
will take pleasure in reading a brief
sketch of his eventful life:
Ben Holiday was born in Kentucky,
1918, and was therefore nearly sixty-nine
years of age at the time of his death.
When but seventeen years of age he left
his native State and went to Missouri.
Here he was engaged in several different
enterprises and finally in 1850 he came
to Salt Lake City at the head of big
wagon train. He was backed in this un-
dertaking by General Hughes, president
of the Bank of Missouri, and out of it he
made enough to start out for himself.
He did not stay long in Utah at
that time. His restless nature carried
him further west, until finally in 1852,
he landed in San Francisco. His first
big scheme on the Coast was the organi-
zation of the Oregon & Mexico Steamship
Company, whose boats piled between
Portland and San Francisco and sailed
south to points in Mexico. At this time
Holiday was said to be worth about
81, 100000.
But even this did not satisfy his ambi-
ton and in 1866 he organized and put
in successful operation, the overland
stage and the pony express, two OF the
most remarkable common carriers that
the world has ever patronized. The over
land stage route extended from the Mis-
souri, River to Portland by way of Salt
Lake and Butte, and was success
fully operated up to the time
of the completion of the Pacific Railway.
Shortly before this, however, Holiday
sold out his system for an enormous sum,
and devoted his time to other enter
prses. A little later he purchased
thousand acres of land in Westchester
county, New York, and here commenced
the erection of a magnificent residence,
the unroofed walls of which alone cost a
million dollars. Only one wing of it was
ever finished and here Mrs. Holiday
spent the rest of her life and was buried
in the little private chapel not far from
the house.
Two of Holladay's daughters married
foreign noblemen. The first was the
Baroness de Bussiegs and the second the
Countess de Pourtales, both of whom are
now dead.
His second wife, who was a Portland
girl, is still living in that city and has
two children. His son, Ben Holiday,
Jr., died short time ago.
In the later years of his life Ben was
involved in serious lawsuits with his
brother Joe, and his success began to
wane. He died comparatively poor
Thus ends the life of one of those
brave men who worked to open up the
New West and who gave to civilization
one OF the grandest countries on the face
of Gods fair earth.

THE SITUATION.

By reference to our local columns it
will be seen that the loyal people Of this
city covered themselves with glory last
night, by electing trustees in several of
the most important school districts in
this city, and the result IS that people
are beginning to feel that the prospects are
not so bad after all.
Less than two years ago the election of
2 trustee in a single district in this city
was considered veritable triumph. but
what can we say for the showing made
last night. Comment is unnecessary; /;
every man feels for himself that the old
DAYS of complete Church rule are over,
and that this is the awakening of Gen
tile Utah into new and a better life.
The facts speak for themselves, and they
alone are our boast.

KING KALAKAUA.

Kalakaua, the King of Hawaii, is q
very wicked old boy and makes point
of having very good time in spite Of
the trouble in his kingdom. He retains
some three hundred dancing girls and
"maids" Of honor pour paSser le temps,
and it is said that the old fellow
don't suffer much from ennui. Queen
Kapiolani became so disguised with him
short time ago that she refused to live
with him any longer, so she is now his
wife only in name. This, however,
probably don't trouble him much as
there are many more attractive and
younger women on the islands.
He is getting too old to be blighted with
disappointment in love, so that the in
dignation of the estimable Queen proves
but a mild punishment to him. He
cares but little about state affairs and if
the rebelling parties leave him his at
tendants, he will be content to give up
what little power he had left.

SENSIBLE TEMPERANCE.

A PRACTICAL temperance reform has
been inaugurated on the line of the Read
ing railroad in Pennsylvania. The Presi-
dent of the line has issued an order to all
employees of the road that they must ab-
stain from the use of all Intoxicating bev-
erages whether on duty or not. Any
man reported to him as violating the
order will be promptly dismissed from
the service of the road. The President
closes his order by the statement that
"there is no business that needs level
headed men more than railroads, both
for the safety of the employees and the
travelling public" This is true of almost
every business. The drunken man is q
misft in every relation of life. The in
dustrial world might introduce a great
temperance reform b. following the ex-
ample of the president of the Reading
Railroad company.

GOVERNOR HILL of New-York, has Just
signed medical registration bill which
from an analysis of its provisions appears
to be even more severe than the one We
toed by Governor Bodwell. The New
York bill not only requires that all prac-
ticing physicians shall be licensed, but
restricts admission to the practice of med
icine to graduates of medical schools in
good standing. The penalties of violating
the law are fines or imprisonment, or
both. The Maine bill was more liberal
than the New York bill, in that it pro-
posed to allow persons not graduates to
practice on condition of passing an exam
ination in matters pertaining to medicine
and surgery.

Of putting him in a straight jacket.
Utah has become an asylum and the
Gentiles are hardly numerous enough to
act as keepers for the insane saints. So
the latter propose to solve the matter by
offering to become their own wardens.
They will buckle on the Jacket them
selves and they expect reasonable people
to believe that they will fasten it
tight enough to cure the case.
The duty of the Government is plain.
1t has only to take care of its patients
until they give evidence of sanity. Then

FUNNY.

One of the most humorous things that
b. Groo, of the lesser organ ever uttered
is this: 'The Herald recognizes the
the grand and glorious fact that this is a
republic; that it is government founded
and conducted upon the principle that
: the m ajority must rule"
Y How long since did the Herald come
to She realiz alton of this glaring fact i?
Why, it was only few months ago that
the will of the majority was tryannical
and the rule of the majority despotic.
A short time ago legislation against
poly gamy was unconstitutional, now
polygamy is incompatible with a repub-
lican form of government" Less than

day of July, 1887. The convention is ex-
pected to choose Territorial central COM
mittee, and to take such action as it may
deem proper in regard to the proposition

PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

The Denver NeWS puts it in this way:
''There is nothing to warrant the at
tempt to give political significance to the
late Utah Territorial convention. 1t is
well-known that body represented the
Mormon influence. 1t has adopted a
constitution for submission to the people,
in which polygamy is ruled out. This
was done against strong opposition in the
convention, by pressure from the leaders,
who knew that to expect anything from
Washington under other circumstances
would be folly. Under the same
pressure it is likely that the Mormon
population will vote for it. Meantime
the anti-Mormon population is TO be rep
resented in a convention which meets on
the 20th instant to take action regarding
the step looking to admission as a State.
1t is safe to assume that this convention
will be hostile to the objects of the other.
This will raise an issue to be decided by
Congress- Such is the status in Utah.
The Portland NeiCS has this The sug-
gestions to which the Utah Statehood
project has given rise are a disgrace to
American civilization. Utah, as she now
exists, with such limited powers as are
conferred upon her Territorial govern
ment, is blot upon the body polite. The
proposition to vest her with the powers
Of Statehood simply for political purposes
is a strange commentary on American
affairs. The Saints are desperate and
are willing to make almost any conces-
sion for the sake Of acquiring home rule.
The proposition to admit Dakota only on
condition of Utah's admission should not
be allowed to mislead thinking men for
moment. Let every proposed new State
stand or fall on its own merits. To make
Statehood a question of party fealty is
absurd. Dakota and Washington should
be admitted, as should Montana or any
other Democratic Territory with the
requisite population. But all consider
ations of humanity, womanhood and de-
cency cry out against the admission of
Utah under any circumstances until its
dominant population has undergone a
radical change.
